Dandelion Fairy Clock Mandala

This mandala design was not based originally on a dandelion. Thats what it reminded of, after I had finished it. Sometimes, I have no idea of what I am going to create at first. It can be very exciting to use a more random  approach, until something starts to emerge.  It is important to have an open mind, be playful, and have fun with it.

The Crystal Universe

  

As an artist, I am fascinated by design, and the incredible designs found in nature. Wilson Bentley, a self taught farmer from Vermont, USA, was the the first person to photograph a snow crystal (snowflake) in 1885, and spent the rest of his life recording them. According to Bentley, no two are alike! His book "Snow Crystals" contains 2400, and yes, no two are alike. Designs and patterns abound in the universe, and we are part of that pattern.  

Lindisfarne

The island of Lindisfarne is located off the Northumbrian coast, England. It is also called Holy Island, and was a primary pilgrimage site for Celtic Christians. Whatever your religion or believe, Lindisfarne is a spiritual and mystical place where you can find calm and solace. Although we may not have a physical place like Lindisfarne to go to, mandalas can act in a similar way,  bringing peace and tranquility to our lives.

Om Mandala

It has been said that there is harmony, peace and bliss in the sound of Om. It is the most important word in Hinduism and is held sacred, the expression of spiritual perfection. A  short but powerful word that starts with O, which is also a circle. I have tried to capture a sense of sound and power in my mandala.

Connections

Everything in the universe is connected in some way or another. Everything is in a state of flux, cycle and pattern.
